📖 1 min readعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «بادروا الصبح بالوتر».
The Hadīth indicates the recommendation to delay the Witr prayer until the last part of the night. However, the one who delays his Witr prayer to the last part of the night should be cautious to perform it before dawn. The time for voluntary night prayer ends with the break of dawn, so, if dawn broke before he prays Witr, then he misses the virtue of this prayer.
